From Bishop LaTrelle Easterling
Beloved of God:
The presidential election has been held and our nation elected a new administration. There are those who are rejoicing. There are those who are devastated. This is true within our congregations and our communities and evidences a very different interpretation of the candidates and what is best for our country. The chasm between these two interpretations may be as wide as we have experienced in recent memory.
